Human Resources

All monthly employees (including GSRs), Academic Appointments (Researchers, Specialists, and Postdoctoral Scholars), and administrative staff employees are paid on the 1st of each following month. When the 1st falls on a weekend or holiday, the payday becomes the last business day before the 1st.

Typically, hourly employees are paid on the 8th of each following month. If the 8th falls on a weekend or holiday, then the paydate falls on the last business day before the 8th. Hourly staff and student employees are paid on the following paydates.

Please note: submission of late hourly timesheets will result in a later payment. Employees will be notified of when they can expect their paycheck if it will be paid at a later date.

Paycheck Location
All employees will be notified via e-mail when paychecks are ready for pickup. Paychecks are handled by David Castellanos in 308 Stanley Hall. His available hours are Monday-Friday 9:30-11:30 AM and 1:30-4:30 PM. Employees must bring a photo ID for verification.

If and employee has multiple job appointments, all pay will be issued on one paycheck. The paycheck will be directed to the employee's "home" department.

Direct Deposit
If the employees prefer to have their pay deposited into their bank account instead, they may sign up for Direct Deposit. To do so, employees may follow the instructions:

There is a waiting period before Direct Deposit takes effect, which is determined by the payroll system and the entry date of the request. If a payroll payment is generated during the waiting period, a paper check will be produced. Changing the bank information in between pay periods may result in a paper check.

From the People page on the Berkeley Business Portal at http://blu.berkeley.edu, click on the blue People tab, then click on Direct Deposit in the yellow Self-Service Menu on the left. Choose one of the following: Add to set up a new Direct Deposit account, Edit to change your current Direct Deposit account information, Delete to cancel Direct Deposit.
